1. Definitions

The following definitions apply to this Privacy Policy:

"Personal Information" means information (whether stored electronically or in paper based filing systems) relating to a living individual who can be identified from that data (or from that data and other information in our possession). Personal Information comprises the categories of Personal Information defined by the CCPA.

"Processing" is any activity that involves use of the Personal Information. It includes, without limitation, obtaining, recording or holding the Personal Information, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the Personal Information including organizing, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring Personal Information to third parties.

The Company does not collect Personal Information in every one of these categories, and we identify below which categories of information we do collect. Personal Information under the CCPA also includes any other category of personal information not included within the CCPA's definition that are defined in California Civil Code § 1798.80(e). We refer to this category as "Other Data," and it includes information such as financial information (bank account number, credit card number, debit card number), medical information, health insurance information, and insurance policy number.

8. Additional Policies In Compliance with the CCPA

The CCPA affords California consumers the rights with respect to their Personal Information set forth in this section. These rights apply only to California residents, who are not otherwise exempt pursuant to the terms of the CCPA, such as through the Business-to-Business exemption described in section 8.6.

8.1    Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Used, Disclosed, or Sold

California consumers have the right to request that the Company disclose what personal information it has collected, used, disclosed, and sold over the 12-month period preceding the Company's receipt of such a request. To exercise this right, a California consumer must submit to the Company a verifiable request to know such information. This request can be submitted by following the procedures set forth in Section 8.4 below.

8.2     Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information

California consumers have the right to request the deletion of their personal information collected or maintained by the Company. To exercise this right, a California consumer must submit to the Company a verifiable request to delete such information. This request can be submitted by following the procedures set forth in Section 8.4 below.

8.3     Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer's Privacy Rights

California consumers have the right to not be discriminated against because the consumer exercised any of the consumer's rights under the CCPA. That means that a company may not deny goods or services to the consumer, charge different rates for goods or services, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services if the consumer chooses to exercise their rights under the CCPA (unless the different rate or different level or quality is reasonably related to the value to the business of the consumer's data).

8.4     Submitting a CCPA Data Request

To submit a request to know about the Personal Information we collect about you as described in Section 8.1 or a request for deletion of your Personal Information as described in Section 8.2, please contact CorpComm@ducommun.com

The Company is required to verify the identity of the individual requesting access to a consumer's data or requesting deletion of a consumer's data. To verify your identity, we will rely upon information we have previously collected about you, such as phone calls received from a known phone number or emails received from a known email. We will also rely upon our personal relationship with our customers or vendors to verify the identity of a requester.

If the California consumer submitting a request is not the Company's client, such an individual who requested information through our website or a phone call to our "contact us" number, then we will verify identity by confirmation using the information we collected, such as phone number of email address.

8.5     Authorized Agent

California consumers may designate an authorized agent to exercise a CCPA right on the consumer's behalf. If a consumer utilizes an authorized agent to exercise a CCPA right, the following proof that the agent has been authorized to act on the consumer's behalf will need to be provided:

• Proof of written permission by the consumer for the authorized agent to act on his or her behalf and separate verification of the consumer; or


• Proof that the authorized agent holds a power of attorney to act on the consumer's behalf pursuant to Cal. Probate Code §§ 4000-4465.

8.6     Exclusion for Business to Business Information

The rights set forth in this section do not apply to personal information reflecting a written or verbal communication or a transaction between the Company and the consumer, where the consumer is a natural person who is acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit, or government agency and whose communications or transaction with the Company occur solely within the context of the Company conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from such company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit or government agency.

8.7     Exclusion for Financial Sector Data

Personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA) are not subject to the CCPA. With respect to such information consumers do not have the enumerated rights under the CCPA set forth in this section.

In addition to the other policies described in this Privacy Policy, residents of the European Union or the EEA are afforded the following additional rights and protections as required by the General Data Privacy Regulation ("GDPR"). The additional rights and protections set forth in this section of this Policy apply only to residents of the European Union or the EEA.

"Processing" is any activity that involves use of the Personal Information. It includes, without limitation, obtaining, recording or holding the Personal Information, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the Personal Information including organizing, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring Personal Information to third parties.

9.2    The legal basis for processing your Personal Information

In order to comply with the GDPR, we are required to set out the legal basis for the processing of your Personal Information. In accordance with the purposes for which we collect and use your Personal Information, as set out above, the legal basis for processing your Personal Information will typically be one of the following:

• The performance of a contract that we have in place with you;


• Your consent where appropriate; or

9.3    Where we store your Personal Information

The data that we collect from you is stored on our servers and may be transferred within or outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") to areas where privacy laws may be less strict than in the EEA. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer and processing. We will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy and has the required adequate protection if it is processed or transferred outside the EEA.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

9.4    Addendum to how long we store your Personal Information

Except in those circumstances, we do not keep your Personal Information for any longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected or for which it is to be further processed.

All of these rights are subject to certain conditions and exemptions. For example, the Company will not be obligated to erase your Personal Information if we need to retain it to protect ourselves in the event of a legal claim.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to us using the contact information set forth below. The Company reserves the right to charge a fee in dealing with such a request as permitted by applicable law and regulations.
